Hey neuro-divergent bubble. Since I found out I might be autistic, I'm trying to learn more about the topic. Now Youtube's algorithm is convinced that I like clips from "The good doctor" suggesting them to me constantly. I never watched an episode. But I find the clips completly cringeworthy already.

How about you? Is this supposed to be a good depiction of autism? I find it so unauthentic and forced. I feel really uncomfortable watching it.

#NewYork Education Department Hindered an Abuse Investigation at Boarding School for #Autistic Youth

A judge ruled that the agency must cooperate in a #disability rights investigation into Shrub Oak International School, which charges up to $573K/year but has no meaningful oversight.

A ProPublica investigation found that would-be whistleblowers could not get state authorities to intervene at the #school.

What have I learned today? The internet may roast you for using inexpensive and #seattle in the same sentence. 😅

With that said, any #autistic or #ADHD adults have experience living in a micro apartment? What was it like for you? Thank you in advance for sharing.

I’ve spent a few hours reading news articles and subreddits—and I’m still thinking about it.

One kid had a party this morning and the other wanted to go to ikea to look at desks for their computer.

Once we were all together again I mentioned that we were probably all overwhelmed and needed quiet time and they agreed. We are all on devices in separate bedrooms being silent.

Is this what a functional neurodivergent family looks like?

Last month I surveyed 2,750 people on their language preferences surrounding autism. The first set of results has been published, and compares Autistic and non-Autistic preferences

Today I had another one of those "delightful" "conversations" where I was told that people like me are autistic because we got brain damage from the MMR vaccine. Now I'm going to be angry all evening.

"Many participants said Interpersonal Relations with other autistic people were easier than with non-autistic people. ‘Ease of communication’ was frequently described as speaking the same language: ‘With autistic people, who speak my language . . . it goes fantastically well most of the time’"

I finally found a copy of NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and How to Think Smarter About People Who Think Differently by @stevesilberman

An amazing book (and much needed, given the volumes of disinformation out there). Highly recommended, whether you're neurodivergent or not.

I‘m rewatching #TheBigBangTheory, now 2 years after my #autism diagnosis. I dont know what people dislike about this show. Sheldon makes me feel very validated. his friends making fun of him both shows problems of modern society and boundaries we sometimes dont see (like speaking the truth when someone is already down).

Anyone else?

Autonomic and hedonic response to affective touch in autism spectrum disorder
Capiotto et al., 2024, Autism Res.

"Our results reveal a noteworthy discrepancy in ASD population between the subjective experience, characterized by amplified hedonic but also unpleasant responses, and the physiological response, marked by a lack of autonomic activation related to affective touch. "
